[not_oflegend]

[Alice hadn't had nightmares since she'd finished things in Wonderland, but she didn't forget that feeling of falling just before you wake up from one. And that's how she awoke after returning from Westport. She let out a gasp, her lungs no longer burning with each breath, and her vision was completely restored as she stared up and a ceiling. She

[[When Massimo heard the water running, he assumed it was just Miyagi or Wriggle using the sink, but when he hears Alice's voice, he runs to her, stopping a few feet away from her.

He knew everyone was back, but to actually see her?

He couldn't contain himself. He cried.]]

...You're... you're back. You're really, really back...

[not_oflegend]

[Her heart broke a little bit as she watched him start to cry. She had been so worried about every in Westport that she had forgotten about what was going through the minds of everyone left in Mayfield.]

I'm sorry.

[Instinctively she stepped closer and hugged him.] Are you alright?

[steel_massifail]

[[Massimo instantly wrapped his arms around Alice, pulling her close, but being careful to be gentle. She'd been through hell. At least, that's what he assumed, since Westport had been described as such.]]

...I should be asking you that, not the other way around.

[[Unfortunately for Alice, Massimo hasn't showered in three days. Luckily, he doesn't have body odour. But he's got a bit of dirt on him, his right hand is scabbed, and there's a burn wound on the far upper right side of his chest.]]

[not_oflegend]

I'm...okay. I'll be alright. I'm still worried about you though, what happened to get you so beat up?

[a_gentle_boy]

Miss Alice . . . We're back. We're all back. Everyone's OK -- Even the people who died.

[not_oflegend]

Lucas?

Good, good. I'm glad you're here. How are you?

[a_gentle_boy]

I'm fine. I'm just afraid that there are some people who're still hurt bad enough to die. . . . Do you need any healing, Miss Alice? I'm sorry I was out of PSI earlier.

[not_oflegend]

No...my throat and my eyes are still sore...but I'll be fine.

[numanstan]

Yeah, I'm here. And I'm pretty alright. How're y'doin'?

[not_oflegend]

[She lets out a sigh of relief.]

Good, I'm glad you made it out alright. I'll be alright soon enough. Everything still stings a bit, but I'm sure it'll wear off.

[numanstan]

Yeah, Lucas managed to heal up the worst bits. Think everything else'll just go away on it's own.

... Flora's alright, too. I talked to her before.

[not_oflegend]

She is? So they even brought the dead back?

[terroristtarget]

[ because I'm late, and fail aklsjf Miyagi comes through the front door eventually and sees her there. ]

Welcome back.

[not_oflegend]

[She smiles a bit.]

Thank you.

How were things here?

[terroristtarget]

[ he smiles some too though the whole thing is still too strange for him ]

Ahh, kid took it all pretty hard. But I think we managed.

[not_oflegend]

Yeah...I talked to him already. He was pretty shaken up, but hopefully we'll be able to stay out of trouble for a while now.

[glowbrighter]

[stumbles up behind not!mom ;o;]

M-Miss Alice?

[not_oflegend]

[She turns around and looks relieved to see her.]

Wriggle, there you are! How are you doing?

[glowbrighter]

[your answer is a wibbling of her bottom lip

and then she bursts into tears and hugs your legs]

[not_oflegend]

[And she bends down so she can properly hug Wriggle back.]

I'm so sorry I didn't find you in there. I didn't know who was or wasn't there, and I...I'm sorry.
